household Hints.

found a much more expeditions process than
tho common practice Of breathing upon them

With q coarse cloth. When 1T is ex-
pedient to fill kerosene lamp while

delegate the task to the least good looking

will bo credited with the full measure OF her
lack of beauty, and consequently be, as it
were, a blessing in disguise. A merci'
full man is merciful to his beast. Hence
it betokens most commendable con-
yideration for the lower strata of tho animal
kingdom to embrace every opportunity 10
ameliorate the condition OF these dumb crea-
lures. A most estimable lady, actuated by
this noble sentiment, and whose worthy ex-
ample should be followed by all householders
having real love for Gods lesser creations,

judejeent, perhaps, to lock the piano when
leaving the domestic alone in the house, for
obvious reasons; but in most families it is not
considered necessary to lock up the washtubs
in order to prevent the young ladies OF
the family from gaining access thereto 1t
should be the constant endeavor OF the
careful housekeeper to remove from sight
whatever is unpleasant to look at. There is,
however, danger of going too far in this as In

ample, when you are expecting guests not

1t is stated authoritively, If not on good
authority, that John Sherman has lost all
chance of his brothers support for the
presidency. The reason is that General
Sherman recently met Mrs. Grover Cleve-
land and promptly surrendered to her.
"Great Sc It'll" remarked the piratlcal old
marcher-through Georgia to Mr.. Bancroft
II would hate to see that sweet little
woman turned out of the white house,"
and 1t appears that Mr.. Bancroft agreed
with the General. General Sherman is
said to have informed Mrs Cleveland that
she made "au ideal first lady of the
land" and that she resembled the Princess
of Wales, the Czarina of Russia, and other
royal and imperial European ladies with
whom he is on terms of intimate &C
ouaintainceship.- Times Democrat

Putting on the Wedding Garments
From the Detroit Free Press.

from the Detroit Free ITess'
About four miles out of Tuscaloosa, in
returning from Sunday visit to planta-
ton, we stopped at negro church In
which about 100 blacks were assembled
for divine service. The preacher was
man with a powerful voice and gesture,
and his sermon was about the necessity of
being arrayed in the wedding garments
and standing ready for the Masters call.
His congregation soon began to warm up,
and pretty soon one and another com
menced to drop out as if overcome. The
sermon was grand and impressive, but
way beyond the comprehension of the or
binary plantation hand. When we finally
went out and drove up the highway, we
found men and women scattered here and
there in the shade, and pretty soon came
to one young man who sat with his arm
around a girl. We stopped the buggy,
but neither of them seemed to care.

JOHN A. LoeAN,s SON.
His Experience at West Point Academy
A Change of Name.


Do YOU ever hear of boy changing his
name! OF course girls do-when they marry
some other girls brother-but it is usual that
boys keep the name they are given at birth
to the end of their days. Young Logan was
an exception, however. When he was in
West Point academy he was known as
Manning Logan; but when his father, the fa-
nous general and senator, died last winter,
he changed his name to that of his father
John A. Logan, This young man went into
West Point about the time his father was
nominated for vice president, and exhibited
considerable elation and high silk hat.
He was promptly relieved of both. A squad
of third class men seized him one night,
perched him upon the mantelpiece, turned
coal scuttle over his head, put water bucket
on that, surmounted by a cavalry helmet,
with the high hat crowning the editice Thus
accoutered he was made to sing, "Im Getting
Big Boy Now" until he pleaded for mercy
This was not wholly etfectual, though, ana a
aay or two afterward u tall and feroclous
looking first class man went up to him and
told him he was wanted to join theatrical
company. Ten minutes afterward little
Logan, completely terrorized, was sitting III
the first class mans room sewing tho missing
buttons ON dilapidated Jacket while Its
owner assured him that he was bound TO
make a great hit as the funny man OF the
theatre.
Years ago hazing was very common at
West Point, but is now pretty nearly abol-
ished The officers of the academy have tried
hard to wipe it out entirely, and have about
succeeded The most that new cadets have
now to do is occasionally to stand on their
| heads in one of the streets of camp or some
| small penalty like that. or course, II the
officer of the day should see the older cadet
| compelling the younger one to do TINS INT
former would b. promptly punished. Some
times they are Taught, and then trouble anc
dement's follow. Another penalty is to com
pei the young cadet, when the table stewards
in the mess hall are not looking, to put TIN
butter remaining on the plate at the close O.
the meal in their pocket. The best way II
| such cases is for the young cadet to submit t
the joke as well as he can. 1t is the castles
| way.
| Young Logan did not graduate at tn
academy. Hewas there nearly two years ant
was well liked by his companions, but some O.
his wild oats were of a rank variety and nae
not been sown, and so gotten rid or, before III
entered the academy. West Point is bao
place to sow wild oats, as Logan and many
Young fellows have found to their sorrow
| The senator's son was dismissed one day. Ill
mother felt very badly over his disgrace, bu
| he never seemed to mind 1t. 1t was very
wrong of him TO cause his mother pam, Du
| he has ample opportunity to make amends
and as he has now sowed his oats and become
fine young fellow, he will no doubt MAKE
| full amends. Philadelphia Times.

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing consumption, severe
coughs, Group, asthma, pneumonia, and in
fact all throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all druggists to
recommend it to the poor, dying con-
sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
$4,000 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re-
ported Such a medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask
your druggist about it. Sample bottles
to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size, IS
cents. Sold by all druggists and dealers,
in the United States and Canada.

A Young Artists Success.

A story is told in art circles of young

ton, and lie hired magnificent studio, filed
it with choice stuffs and brio brac, and pro-
ceeded to take fashionable pupil Of the
gentler sex, having borrowed bis equipment
from fashionable house decorator, whose
business he "boomed" at the houses OF his

Gen. Lew Wallace as O lecturer on army
affairs does not appear to be very highly inn
pressed with the excellent qualities OF the war
correspondent as a truthful historian. His
picture of Whitelaw Reid and his associates
at the battle of Pittsburg Landing, after they
had done what they could, as he thinks, to
misrepresent him, israther more graphic than
complimentary He was called out of his
tent by motley crew, which had just ar
rived. OH foot, on lean mules or on broken
down horses. They had q most pitiful tale

the man who now heads the staff of The New

been guilty, their leader explained, of telling
the truth, something that it was not the
proper thing to do under martial law, and
thew had therefore been "bunched" together
and told to go. Would he give them some
thing to eat for sweet charity's sakel lie did

A new three-act play by Mr.. Robert
Buchanan was brought out for the first
time in this country at this Brooklyn Park
theatre, on Monday night. 1t is called
Fascination" and scored u decided popu-
lar success, and, with some reservations, an
artistic one as well. The leading part of
Lady Madge Slashton is said to have been
written for Cora Tanner, wife of the man
ager of the theatre In which the play
was prOduced
